[the things i said about you]
[maybe we could work it out someday]things were going pretty well 'till i diedon that summer afternoonwhen you broke down before my eyeswell i got a streak of meannessa clumsy way of speakingand i don't know where i get it fromit must run in my familydo i have to go down on my knees?this is my 16th apology to youwith friends like me who needs enemiesi got a river inside the size of my ragewhich is really something elsewhen you think of my tender agewell i got a way about mebut it's hard for me to see itand i don't know when i'm in the wrongwhy am i so hard to please?this is my 16th apology to youdo i have to go down on my knees for youwith friends like me who needs enemiesthe things i said about youwere all said yesterdayi didn't mean to hurt youmaybe we could work it out somedaywell i got a streak of meannessa clumsy way of speakingand i don't know when i'm in the wrongwhy am i so hard to please?do i have to go down on my knees?this is my 16th apology to youwith friends like me who needs enemies
[didn't your mother ever tell you]
[to err is human, to forgive is divine]
[oh well, i'll see you in the next life]
